My husband and I enjoyed our stay here! Room was clean and hotel staff was friendly! We received complementary bottles of water upon arrival, and the location was in the most convenient spot. The area was quiet and walkable with many restaurants and shops in a short walking distance. If we come back to old town San Diego in the future, we will definitely be staying here again.
